Looking Through the Products
• Saturnus (Security Framework): “Saturnus Security Framework (SSF) introduces a new mobile security framework that provides mobile security authentication, encryption and signing functions by turning your smartphone or other smart mobile device into a “hardened” security token. SSF makes use of Intrinsic ID’s patented PUF technology called Hardware Intrinsic Security (HIS). On devices where HIS™ is not supported, SSF switches to a software PUF technology called Cloud Intrinsic Security (CIS).”

Confidentio includes a hardware IP core that targets secure element implementations in: SIM/smartcard, Secure SDCard and embedded secure elements in mobile devices. Confidentio can also be implemented in software or firmware.”

• Quiddikey (Secure Key management): “In this world of billions of connected devices and massive amounts of data and content streaming to and from the Cloud, the familiarity and comfort of the physical world is missing. Quiddikey is a unique solution that ties data and security to the physical world. Cryptographic security solutions always revolve around some secret key(s) that need to be stored somewhere in a system. With Quiddikey, these keys are bound to a device in such a way that they cannot be cloned, copied or in any way extracted from the device.”
